DESCRIPTION
MakeXDir is a program to be used along with X_List.. MakeXDir
will generate a file X_LIST.DIR, containing enough information
for X_List to treat the files as "Being available", though they
may be missing physically....
When X_List is processing a file area, it will generate an
internal index of files physically available in the file area.
This index will be used when running through the FILES.BBS, where
each file entry will be checked against the internal index, and
if it is missing, X_List may (depending on the configuration)
remove the entry from the FILES.BBS, or skip it in the public
file list..
The MakeXDir program will give you an option to remove some
files from the one or more fileareas, and still keep these
entries in the Public List and the FILES.BBS, since X_List will
treat the information in the X_LIST.DIR file as if the files
mentioned was available in the Directory....
Since the files are not physically available on the storage
media, X_List will indicate this by placing a '!' in position 13
right after the name of the file...
MakeXDir V 2.13 - (C) BIFROST UnLtd. - 1990.
Here is an example of a public list:
ASG_LIST.ARC 77777 09-08-90 This is the File List here...
OLD_LIST.ARC! 1234 09-08-89 This file has been removed*
* Note that the comment will not be changed...
In opus the filelist will still look like this:
ASG_LIST.ARC 77777 09-08-90 This is the File List here
OLD_LIST.ARC Missing This file has been removed*
When running the MakeXDir program, it will prompt you for each
file mentioned in the FILES.BBS, and Physically available in the
directory... You will get three options:
1. Adopt the file into the X_LIST.DIR file, and delete the
file from the directory.
2. Keep the file for download.
3. Adopt the file into the X_LIST.DIR, and leave the file
in the directory.
